Setup involves using the Nvidia button on the controller or the mic key on the remote to get started — the former supports hands-free Assistant activation (which can be toggled on or off), while the remote requires you to press the mic button. Since this is a pretty big deal for Nvidia and Google, the latter is offering users a free 3-month trial subscription to YouTube Red. Like I said at the top, Google says that SHIELD TV owners will be able to get in on the Experience 6.0 upgrade starting today.

The adventure bike market in India is showing a lot of interest from consumers. Currently, the big adventure bike segment is dominated by the Triumph Tiger 800 models, and Honda’s newest adventure bike, the CRF1000L or Honda Africa Twin, has already sold out the first lot of bikes assembled here in India. A middleweight adventure bike, with a 650 cc engine could make for a very interesting product. Benelli is already working on launching its upcoming adventure tourer in India, the Benelli TRK502. The TRK502 will be launched sometime in 2018. Kinetic Engineering-owned Motoroyale is also working on bringing in a lightweight, 600 cc adventure model, the SWM SuperDual to India.

“When I filled out the booking form I had to give the flight number and estimated time of arrival. I put down British summer time by mistake, which was two hours behind Greek time. When we arrived at the airport hire desk we were told the car had been held for an hour and that no other car was available. We had to get a taxi to our destination, which cost us £50. All AutoEurope offered to do was organise another car that, if I wanted it immediately, would cost £2,700, or £700 if I could wait a week. Two days later I found an alternative provider myself and paid £300.”

Duane always loved working with people, and said he will miss the friendships he’s made, the auto industry relationships he’s had since first opening and the customers he’s helped. He still sees second- and third-generation customers come in for parts, who can remember hanging out in the office lobby drinking a soda while waiting for their own fathers to find a part.

Smart money advisers insist one should not spend much more than 10 per cent of one’s annual income on a car, but that is just ridiculous because this means that with your healthy pay packet of $42,000 (Sh4,326,000) a year, you are limited to a first-generation Toyota Premio or a Subaru Legacy BH5 like mine, yet I earn waaaay less than you do. No, can’t do. The “compromise” is one fifth of the annual income, which lands you in something newer, but still used. And you are still in Range Rover territory, even for ageing overused examples. Range Rovers might depreciate worryingly, yes, but they are not exactly free of charge either.

Partner Paul McQueen wrote the decision “has the potential to significantly increase the cost of construction across the metropolitan region and add an additional layer of regulation to the development process. The implications of this decision should be of most concern to the majority of medium and large-scale property developers operating throughout the metropolitan region, as well as their financiers and consultants.”

What’s the purpose behind this new “feature”? As explained in that document, “In iOS 11 and later, when you toggle the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth buttons in Control Center, your device will immediately disconnect from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth accessories. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will continue to be available.”

This new sports car range has been launched in Japan. The GR range is a three-tier series having GRMN models along with midlevel “GR” and GR Sport. The models offered in the sports car range include Prius PHV, Harrier, Mark X, Voxy, and Noah. After some time Vitz GRMN, 86 GR, Aqua GR Sport, and Prius GR sports models will also be included.

As far as kit count is concerned, it loses out on adaptive cruise control with stop and go, but otherwise standard equipment remains identical to the CBU model. On the outside, that means you get the full M Sport appearance package, plus adaptive LED headlights with auto high beam, LED fog lights, 19-inch double-spoke style 664 M alloy wheels, M Sport brakes with blue callipers and BMW Individual satin aluminium trim.
